@timbray it's interesting that "bill maher" called modi out and said he wasn't afraid of potential reprisals, when it is known that modi is connected to at least two international assassinations. Didn't mention that aspect at all on his show, "Real Time With Bill Maher", either.
I’d love to see a behind-the-scenes or making-of for #LastWeekTonight. How do they put it together in such a tight, well-made package. There don’t appear to be many cuts, and John Oliver’s hand motions and everything is so well-choreographed. Is he really that good, or do they practice this over and over?
#JohnOliver did a brilliant take down of the smear campaign against the students protesting against #Genocide in #Gaza. If you’re able to you should check it out. It should be easy to see you’re on the wrong side when you’re sending out cops to knock down a 65 year old Jewish professor of Jewish studies while claiming you’re keeping Jewish students and faculty safe. #LastWeekTonight#Palestine#GazaGenocide#FreePalestine
If you see the following video (it’s restricted to certain regions presumably where HBO Max isn’t available), then you will get to eventually see the whole show on YouTube and not just the main story like before. 🤩
Finally, #LastWeekTonight with #JohnOliver is uploading their full episodes from past seasons on YouTube and Season 1 is already up! (Not available in all regions, so you might not see this playlist.)
For that matter, I had never reflected on what John Oliver’s format with #LastWeekTonight encapsulates, but this article made it quite succinct: you’re working on popping the jargon and obfuscation and presentation around the banality of (financial) evil with entertainment. Keep people’s attention up to understand what is happening.
I just received a text message from someone claiming to be Andi Gutmans. It’s the same kind of CEO text message, where they claim to be in a meeting and need you to do something for them real quick. The thing is, I’ve never worked with Andi outside of PHP, so I think they’re targeting me based on data from LinkedIn, where it shows I “work for” PHP in my experience history.

Update: HBO Delays #LastWeekTonight With #JohnOliver Release On YouTube. Oliver states, starting this season, the network will be releasing new episodes of the show on Thursdays now.
John Oliver's Last Week Tonight just made a 5min-long fake episode of Thomas the Tank Engine, featuring hilarious narration by Matt Berry! (Mr Reynolds, The IT Crowd, Channel 4)

Taking the opportunity of being bed-ridden (fuck you, covid) to catch up on #LastWeekTonight, and this snippet from a show that aired about a month and a half before #Kissinger died was just... 😘👌
John Oliver comes for the freight rail industry, and I am THERE for it.
Particularly since he explicitly says he is "pro-train," and then lays out why the freight rail operators are putting all of us at risk—and standing in the way of high-speed passenger rail. #JohnOliver#LastWeekTonight#trains#FreightRail
